Prayer

Good evening. I thought we could open the discussion on teaching kids to pray. I have been somewhat bothered by the prayers my kids pray. It seems to be the same prayer each night, covering topics of school, family, etc. I understand that there is a growing level of maturity that comes with age. I do want to be more active in teaching them. What ideas do you have?

I also am aware of my own prayers, and I think I model them ok, but there are times when I don't even want to pray in front of my kids, especially when it's been a tough day.
